Title: Prolate wave operators beyond the archimedean place

Abstract: As we have seen, the negative spectrum of the prolate spheroidal wave operator tries to simulate the nontrivial zeros of Zeta. To improve the degree of approximation one needs to go beyond the archimedean place and involve the primes, i.e. the finite places of the adeles over Q. This talk, based on joint work with A. Connes and C. Consani, discusses a process for obtaining such an extension in the semilocal adelic framework, which involves finitely many primes at a time.
